Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 58

*****Erika’s POV*****

“How could you two blame me?” I was shocked. Why were they blaming me? They did not even understand what was going on. How would they when it was not them being affected.

“You said very wrong things, Rika. We’re your best friends and we would tell you the truth.” Paula said.

“What truth?! Do you guys know what I have gone through in the hands of Elder Grigshade at the meeting today? There is without doubt that the man wants me dead if possible, and then I find out that my own brother is doing business with such a man. What kind of business? You both just agreed now that he has never done that before. You both agreed that the character was unlike him. So why was this particular business different? Why?” I ranted.

I was having enough on my plate to want to add whatever my best friends were dishing right now. They said they had come to support and be with me, it was either they did that or they let me be.

Why would they try to blame me? For what? What had I done? What was my crime? Because I asked a question?

“As much as we understand you, Rika, you still do not have the right to tell Jace what you did. When you asked him what kind of business, what was his response?” Paula laid a hand on my shoulder.

“He said he would show me the documents as evidence. So I would see for myself.” I begrudgingly replied.

“What did you tell him?” This was from Kat. She seemed to be the most angry one over what I had done. Was she doing this because Jace was her mate? Or because she personally thought I had done wrong?

“I said he should tell me himself.” I might had overreacted there, but like I had asked before, who would blame me? I had a pack to rule, my father’s legacy to continue. He entrusted me with these things and now I had to go through all these challenges, while he kept battling for his life.

I had no idea if he would survive it. I had no idea to know if I would ever hear him laugh again or be strict with Jace and I even though we were no longer young pups.

“You should have just been patient. You sounded like you don’t trust him and anyone in his shoes would be angry. Jace has never planned evil against you and never will.” Paula reasoned with me.

Kat was not saying anything. I wondered what was going on in her mind, was she thinking ill of me at this point? Did she think I was not supposed to say the things I had said to Jace?

I sighed. “I don’t know, P. I’m just so frustrated and tired.”

“How can you say that? You don’t have to be. Jace is your blood, you both are supposed to have each other’s backs right now.” Paula advised. “Your dad would be disappointed to know that his children are fighting against each other instead of coming together to fight as one against the outside world. You’re the eldest, you should do better.”

“I’m doing my best.” I was on the verge of another tears. I blinked my eyes to ward off the tears. Truly, if dad were to be alive he would be disappointed. He had always taught never to fight against each other especially when it concerns other people.
